a phase 2 study of durvalumab (medi4736) and oleclumab (medi9447) in multi-cancer populations with correlation to clinical, molecular and immunologic parameters with dna methylation

Conditions: Non Small Cell Lung Cancer; Renal Cell Carcinoma

Summary: this is a phase ii, prospective, non-randomized, open-label trial involving cancer patients with known inflamed tumor types. patients with previously treated advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer or renal cell cancer will be recruited in near equal distribution. all patients must have documented response or prolonged stable disease to previous immunotherapy. at present, we plan to enrol 55 patients, to be treated with durvalumab and oleclumab. the regimen will consist of durvalumab 1500 mg given by vein every 4 weeks and oleclumab 3000 mg given by vein every 2 weeks x 4 doses then iv every 4 weeks till disease progression, withdrawal of subject consent, or another reason for discontinuation. estimated total duration from time to first subjects consent to last subject's last visit is approximately 36 months.

study hypotheses: 1. circulating free methylated dna immunoprecipitation and high-throughput sequencing (cfmedip-seq) can yield cancer type-agnostic predictive biomarker(s) of response and/or toxicity in subjects receiving this combination. 2. the combination of oleclumab (anti-cluster of differentiation \[cd\]73 monoclonal antibody) with durvalumab (anti programmed cell death ligand 1 \[pd-l1\]) will demonstrate adequate safety, tolerability, and antitumor activity in subjects with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (nsclc) and renal cell cancer (rcc) previously treated with checkpoint inhibitors.
